Can I Sue My Complex For Poisionous Spiders/Old Torn Dirty Carpet/Worn Out bed
I moved into my apartment on a Saturday.As soon as I opened my bedroom door I was disgusted. The carpet was torn all the way across about the entire width of the door and could be peeled back from the floor underneath. In addition to that it has terrible stains everywhere and is looks as if it needs to be replaced. The bed that came with the room was also in horrible condition. One side is noticeably lower than the other as if someone sat there all the time. It also was very thin and the springs can be felt easily. Frustrated with the room and knowing I had to unpack I had planned on just going back to the office Sunday to tell them about the carpet and bed.When I woke up Sunday morning I saw a HUGE brown recluse spider in my bedroom, which is poisionous. As I got closer to try to kill it, it crawled away very fast. I caught and killed it though. I then looked around for more and saw one above my window, another brown recluse. Jus like the 1st one, I had to chase it down to kill it. After this happened I went to the office and explained the situation to the manager. She told me she wanted prove, and to bring her the spiders, and also not to tell anyone about them. She also said that she would send out pest control the next day. As for my carpet that probably wouldn't be handled until Tuesday. I went to walmart and purchased something to kill insects and spiders, went back to the apartment, and sprayed my entire room and everywhere else I could think of. Kitchen, living room, washer and dryer room, hallways, and bathroom. About 1 hour later, leaving the kitchen I saw something moving in the hallway. As I looked closer it was another brown recluse, but it was barely moving. I assume dying from the spray. That made 3 of them so far. At this point I was really paranoid and afraid since they are poisionous. I took pictures of them all. I washed clothes later on and in the corner of the wash room was another brown recluse. I took a pic of this as well, then getting they spray again, I went back and sprayed everywhere again. Up in the corners, behind the washer and dryer, even in air conditioning vents. Monday came and there wasn't a visit from pest control. Tuesday I went back to the office and spoke with someone. She said pest control would be there that day but my carpet would probably have to wait until Wednesday.Nobody came that day nor Wednesday. Thursday morning while I was in the bathroom I saw another brown recluse right beside my foot. It was barely moving so I was able to catch it this time. At this I was completely aggravated with the whole situation I called the office and asked for the manager, but was told she wasn't available. I left my name and number and asked if she could please call me back. After the call was over I typed a email and sent her the pics of all the spiders and my carpet. I told her I wanted a refund on my deposit so I could move somewhere else. I refuse to live somewhere that is infested with spiders, especially ones that are poisionous. I can be biten in my sleep and would not even know it. They can get in my clothes, shoes, and other things I have. And this carpet is unsanitary, I don't want to walk on it barefooted. I was told the room was being cleaned and it was the reason that I couldn't see it until move in day. If I had seen it before then I would not have given them any money until things were fixed. Can I sue to get out of my lease and get my deposit & rent back. This Is a serious health issue and I don't wish to stay. I need to find another apartment
